Terrill Road Freewill Baptist / Praying Pelican retreat. I work with a Freewill Baptist church near my school. I was raised Pentecostal, took membership with the Free Methodist church, and am currently ministering in a Freewill Baptist church while attending a Restoration Movement school. So clearly I am all over the board denomination-wise. I closely associate my beliefs with the Free Methodist church, along with the Christian church's dedication to Biblical authority and Christian Unity.My current ministry at Terrill road Freewill Baptist church is two fold. I have been serving as the worship minister on Sunday mornings and evenings, leading in songs and praises. On Sunday evenings I have been helping lead prayer meetings. Jerrod Tune also serves at the church on Sunday evenings, and preaching occasionally. I have been given the opportunity to preach a couple times as well. Our church is small. Small but growing. When I began attending in September there was on average about 10 p...

It's been quite some time since my last post. The last two weeks have been a roller coaster. I'm very busy so I have to make this quick.Last week I was staying and working in Ladyville, where the airport is located. I worked with Ladyville Baptist church and pastor Maurice Westby.

We did farming out at pastor's farm early in the morning, at like 6am. Funny thing- I was in charge of the farming, up early early everyday. It was a good week. A number of kids were quite chal...

Well it's Sunday evening, July 1st. I just got back from Corozal. Corozal is a spanish town on the northern border of Belize and Mexico. I was up there setting up for a trip in August, which my brother will be on with some of his youth! This past week I was assisting in a trip with Group Work Camps. Praying Pelican teamed up with Group Work Camps, the largest short term missions organization in the U.S. to bring 85 students to Belize City. The teams split and worked at three different churches in the area, serving in construction at the local churches and homes of those in need affiliated with the churches. It was a long week, and lots of work was involved. I was stationed at the Faber's road site for the entire week. The team I lead worked on the beginnings of a new fence around the church, building the foundation. They also served by connecting with a single mother of 11 children across the street from the church. They repaired leaks in her roof, painted the house inside and ...
